Data Capture - CipherLab CP60G Reference Manual

DATA CAPTURE

Although highly converged, the mobile computer is also a dedicated barcode reader. The
mobile computer is shipped with either a (laser) 1D reader or 2D imager. A number of
symbologies are supported and data about them can be decoded and collected.
After data has been collected, the mobile computer can output it locally to applications
installed on the mobile computer or to the host computer so data storage, advanced data
analysis and more special services can be performed.
This chapter describes how to collect data with reader modules.
Note: The mobile computer allows three forms of data capturing, either by laser scanning,
2D imaging or capturing colored images via the digital camera. Laser scanning and
imaging are described in this chapter. For digital camera usage, see Camera.
